    Celebrate!

    Hey everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve been on here, but for good reason. We had two weddings in our family this spring! Our daughter got married mid-February and our son got married mid-May. It was a busy, wonderful season of celebrations and our family has grown beautifully. I’m finally busy making cards again…

  • Hot Coffee

    Hot Coffee

    Okay, this card was a lot of fun to make! The inspiration for this card came from my love for coffee and my love for my husband. I have this great coffee die cut and stamp set so I started by blending some ground espresso distress oxide ink onto white cardstock. I ran it through…

  • Be Mine, Valentine

    Be Mine, Valentine

    Okay, I’ve been on a kick of making Valentine’s cards lately. I think this will be the last actual Valentine’s card I’ll make for now. I’m sure I’ll make some that can be used as Valentine’s cards, but they can also be used for other occasions too. For this A2 card I used white cardstock…

  • Vellum Heart Valentine

    Vellum Heart Valentine

    This card was fun to make as I got to use up some of the patterned vellum I’ve had on my shelf for a long time. I didn’t think of it right away, but I was glad the idea popped into my head eventually. I started out with some options for an A2 card base…

  • You’re my Whole World

    You’re my Whole World

    Do you have someone in your life that is your whole world? If so, this is a great idea for a Valentine’s card. It’s important to remind that special someone how much they mean to you. We can tend to live our lives so busy that we forget the simple things like letting that special…

  • Butterflies

    Butterflies

    I think this is the third card in a row that I’ve masked off a section to add ink to. This time I added Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress oxide ink. While the mint tape was still on, I stamped butterflies from a Stampin’ Up set called Best of Butterflies. From top to bottom I…

  • Feather Dreams

    Feather Dreams

    This birthday card turned out great. I really like the color combo and the gold sparkles! I used a couple of strips of mint tape to mask off a section that I added Tim Holtz Victorian velvet distress oxide ink to. On the white space next to it, I stamped a sentiment from the Forever…

  • Classic Birthday

    Classic Birthday

    Here’s a great birthday card for the book lover in your life. Bonus points if they love classics! I used a couple of strips of mint tape to mask off a portion of the card. In that portion I used a domed foam blender to add Tim Holtz weathered wood distress oxide ink. With the…
